Today I hit this problem for the 3rd time (kubuntu karmic, fresh install
using kubuntu alternate CD of alpha 6, intel 915 gfx card).

Reinstalling everything libdrm related did not fix the problem.

First an observation, then my workaround.

Observation:
The first symptom of this problem is not the content of the X log file, it is the boot splash which is displayed in a much lower resolution.

So this made me think that the problem was happening very early during the boot process. This lead me to the following workaround:
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
sudo update-grub2
"sudo reboot"

which always fixed the problem.

It would be great to know what information I should gather the next time
this happens, so that the problem could be tracked down...

** Changed in: libdrm (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

/dev/dri devices are absent after recent update (intel card)
